| Resumen en inglés | The relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] serum levels and response to antiviral therapy and laboratory data in HCV infection remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine pre-treatment 25(OH)D serum level among HCV infected individuals and to evaluate the association between vitamin D status, virological response, and laboratory data. Material and methods. Baseline serum 25(OH)D levels were measured in 237 chronic HCV infected patients (139 female, age 53.7 ± 11.2 years) using chemiluminescence immunoassay. Correlations between serum 25(OH)D levels, virological and laboratory data regarding HCV infection as well as sustained virological response (SVR) to antiviral therapy were evaluated. Results. Mean serum values of 25(OH)D was 26.2 ± 12 ng/mL and prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (< 30 ng/mL) was 66.2%. Advanced age (> 55 years), high mean values of LDL, total cholesterol, HDL and low mean values of alkaline phosphatase and hemoglobin were statistically associated to vitamin D deficiency. Antiviral treatment was underwent by 133 HCV patients and 44.3% of them achieved SVR. Most of individuals that presented SVR also presented 25(OH)D level higher than 30ng/mL (55.9%). SVR was associated to low mean values of LDL, total cholesterol and platelets; high mean values of ALT, AST and low fibrosis grade. Conclusions: In conclusion, low vitamin D levels were observed among HCV infected patients and was associated to laboratory findings, however baseline 25(OH)D level is not independently associated with SVR |
